    This’ll surely get me to ::checks notes:: pay for music?!?

    What fucking year is this? Do record companies even still release music?

        I don’t think I’ve proactively listened to music put out by a major label in 18 years. Anything I’ve listened to has been a smaller label (that wouldn’t have a legal department large enough to try to pull this shit) or released by the musician(s) directly.

        This is the type of company that pays people like Kanye. It’s regurgitated, processed, shit - labeled as music.
